After Instructor Feng put down the document, he immediately said: "I will make preparations, and on Saturday, I will organize the whole battalion of soldiers to learn the deeds of Meng Chuan, and let everyone see the demeanor of the commander of the heavy artillery company of our synthetic battalion. ”

Meng Chuan is reluctant to do this, after all, it is better to keep a low profile.

Why did you come to the synthesis camp? The ultimate reason is that because he is too popular, he came here to retreat bravely from the rapids, and he temporarily avoided the edge, not to make a big splash.

However, seeing Instructor Feng's excited expression, Meng Chuan was not easy to refuse, and he was still his superior.

Let's talk about a small synthesis camp, and if you come to the stage to say a few words, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, no one in the outside world pays attention to the synthesis camp at all, "Okay, wait for Saturday, I'll come to the stage and say a few words." ”

The learning task was supervised by Instructor Feng, and Duan You was too lazy to take care of it. His main problem now is to solve the problem of atmosphere, and the heavy artillery company is a gathering place for bad atmosphere, "Lao Feng, Lao Li, Xiao Dong, let's go to the heavy artillery company now, I want to take advantage of the demotion of the two of you to teach the old sergeants of this heavy artillery company a good lesson." ”

Instructor Feng also understood a little bit of Duan You's meaning, it was unrealistic to want to change the atmosphere of the old sergeant major, so Duan You had to seize any opportunity to slowly change the thinking of these sergeant majors.

A group of four people soon came to the heavy artillery company, and the instructor of the heavy artillery company was called Han Ming, who was inspecting the work of the heavy artillery company at this time.

As soon as Han Ming saw the battalion commander instructor coming, he hurriedly trotted over, "Battalion commander, instructor." ”

Duan You glanced at Company Commander Dong, "Xiao Dong, you go and gather all the soldiers of the heavy artillery company." Xiao Han, come here, I'll tell you something. ”

Han Ming is the instructor of the heavy artillery company, and it can be regarded as lucky that the punishment was not imposed on him this time, because the instructor is in charge of political and ideological work, and the maintenance of equipment is a task, which is in charge of the company commander.

However, if the party committee of the brigade headquarters understands the root cause of the synthetic battalion, it is estimated that it will not be Meng Chuan and Company Commander Dong who will be punished, but this instructor. But this can't be blamed on Han Ming, after all, these old sergeant majors can't even do anything about the battalion instructors, let alone a company instructor.

Duan You called Han Ming aside, mainly to talk about the problem of this atmosphere, as a grassroots instructor, Han Ming is too clear about the atmosphere here, and he has also told Instructor Feng about this problem more than once, but there is no way, the instructor has no recruitment, so he can only continue to let himself do the work of these sergeant majors.

After a while, Company Commander Dong had all the personnel assembled, and a third-class sergeant major and two fourth-class sergeant majors stood at the front, and with the addition of the injured and hospitalized squad leader Wu and Sergeant Major Hu, there were five sergeant majors in this company, and such a luxurious lineup belonged to the first in the whole army.

At this time, You took out the punishment decision and shouted to the more than 100 soldiers in front of him: "This is the punishment decision given to me by the brigade commander today. Because of the mistakes made by squad leader Wu and Sergeant Hu, the party committee of the brigade headquarters decided to revoke Meng Chuan's post as deputy battalion commander and demote him to the commander of a heavy artillery company, and the commander of a heavy artillery company to a deputy company commander. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, how could there be such a heavy punishment decision, and the positions of the two chief officials were actually reduced.

Duan You continued to roar: "Why did there be such an accident yesterday, why did Deputy Battalion Commander Meng remind everyone to pay attention to safety again and again, but several of you sergeant majors are still operating in violation of regulations." Lao Lu, you are also the person who participated in the maintenance yesterday, you can tell me why. ”

At this time, the third-class sergeant major stood up, although the third-level sergeant major has a high salary, but after all, the military rank is low, and he can be heroic in the face of the company commander, but in the face of this serious synthetic battalion commander, he still does not dare to be presumptuous, "Report to the battalion commander, it is our maintenance team that is careless, we have made a review, this is my review." ”

As he spoke, Sergeant Lu took out the review book and handed it to the paperwork.

Duan You took the review from the paperwork, looked at it, and then threw it directly to the ground, "Emphasize objective reasons, always emphasize objective reasons, when will you be able to put away your old qualifications." Don't you think you've been in the army for a long time, and you think you'll be able to do whatever you want. I tell you, if you continue like this, even if I let the battalion commander quit, I will also demobilize you all next year, believe it or not. ”

Let these third-class sergeant majors be demobilized, if Duan You is ruthless in dealing with them, it can definitely be done.

Although Sergeant Major III is a battalion-level treatment, approval of promotion or demobilization requires the approval of the brigade-level commander-in-chief. However, Duan You's opinion as the battalion commander is also quite important, if Duan You is ruthless and keeps hacking them, the brigade leader will carefully consider the question of whether to stay or stay of these third-class sergeant majors.

This is also the reason why the sergeant major of the third class is not afraid of the company commander, but the battalion commander.

After all, staying in the army can always enjoy battalion-level treatment, not to mention food and housing, there is an allowance of seven or eight thousand per month, and there are many people who can be called by his subordinates.

If it is demobilized, even if it can get a large amount of demobilization pay at that time, it will only be a mountain of empty food. Besides, what can you do when you go out and repair armored vehicles for a lifetime? If you want to repair civilian cars, you have to train them.

Sergeant Commander Lu saw Duan Youfa being so angry, and he didn't dare to touch the mold, so he said again and again: "Battalion commander, then I'll go back and rewrite." ”

What Duan You wants is not that Sergeant Lu is afraid of himself, but that he wants him to obey orders, and the most important thing is to obey the orders of his commander, especially the orders of Meng Chuan, the commander of the heavy artillery company, "Meng Chuan is your company commander, and your review will be handed over to Meng Chuan." And a few of you sergeant majors, you all have to write, don't rely on your seniority, you can be exempt from punishment, even our officers have to accept the eight regulations of the central government, why do you still do whatever you want. ”

The sergeant majors who took the lead all agreed again and again, but they were all superficial. How many years have these people worked in the army, and there has never been a commander who reprimanded himself in front of so many soldiers in front of the public. Therefore, none of these sergeant majors will feel comfortable in their hearts, but it has increased the contradiction between Duan You and them.

Meng Chuan was uncomfortable when he saw that the sergeant major had promised, and he also understood their thoughts. He always felt that people who can become sergeant majors should not only have excellent skills, but also have good character, after all, they have been educated in the army for so many years, even if they are slowly sharpened, their temperament and temperament have been polished.

In fact, they are not very wrong, they just think that after working in the army for so many years, they should also enjoy it a little. But people's desires are unlimited, and they may enjoy themselves at the beginning, but they will slowly become arrogant later, and gradually do not take the chief officer seriously.

However, their principled nature should not be lost, and with a little guidance, they should be able to be changed.

Meng Chuan picked up Sergeant Lu's review book on the ground, opened it and looked at it, it was basically empty talk, and it had no practical significance, but being able to think of writing a review in advance and carrying the review book with him proved that they still had principles.

"Old Duan, don't talk about them, no matter what, it is us who organizes the repair, and they also follow our orders to carry out the repair, and if something happens during this period, it is indeed my responsibility, and I will have a good chat with them in private later, just talk about it."

Duan You was also a little angry when he saw that Meng Chuan was a good old man again, "Old man, you should be a good person, if you continue to do this, you will be dragged to death." You said how much credit you have made, but now you have been demoted to company commander, are you not angry at all, I am angry for you. ”

This time, Meng Chuan was demoted from deputy battalion commander to company commander, and Sergeant Commander Lu also knew that it was because of his own fault, "Company commander, when I go back, I will definitely write a good review, review myself deeply, and before dinner, I will definitely send it to you." ”

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

Meng Chuan whispered to these sergeant majors, and Duan You didn't have much point in holding this meeting, so he shouted: "Okay, let's break the meeting, everyone is busy." Lao Li, come here. ”

Meng Chuan saw that Duan You still looked angry, and said with a smile: "Okay, old Duan, don't be angry, we have three months, and we are not in a hurry for this time." Besides, haven't you achieved your goal today, and you have already suppressed these sergeant majors. ”

"And now that I'm the commander of a heavy artillery company, you can't change the status quo. Then I want to get to know them first and make plans for the next step. I don't want to criticize anyone without knowing anything. ”

Duan You is not angry with these sergeant majors, but angry at Meng Chuan, who is a good person, "Lao Li, I know what your character is." But the troops are not like that after all, only enough high pressure can suppress everyone, have you ever heard the saying that Ci is not in charge of the army? Sometimes you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless. ”

Meng Chuan understands this truth, but Meng Chuan still believes that people are emotional animals, even if they are two people who don't deal with each other, they can still be emotionally involved if they stay together for a long time.

And the word 'Ci does not take charge of the soldiers' does not mean to have a black face on his subordinates. Rather, at critical times, commanders and fighters must have the will and determination of steel to direct and act, and they must not spoil the overall situation because of soft-heartedness.

Therefore, those who are usually kind to their subordinates will not only not cause the situation of 'mercy not in charge of the army', but will make them even more prohibitive.

But this is also a degree, the relationship is too good, and the relationship is not good. It's best to be in a relationship that respects and respects each other, not very familiar, but the relationship will never be stiff.

"Okay, Lao Duan, you give me a week, and I'll take a closer look at the heavy artillery company first. In a week, I'll come up with a solution for you, and you see if that works. ”

Duan You didn't have any opinions, after all, the commander of the heavy artillery company was Meng Chuan, "Okay, old pick, you can make your own decisions." ”
